1Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

1As soon as it was morning, the high priests convened a meeting with the elders and scribes and the whole Council. They bound Jesus with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate.

2"Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "You have said so," Jesus replied.

2Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."

3The chief priests accused him of many things.

3The high priests kept accusing him of many things.

4So again Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of."

4So Pilate asked him again, "Don't you have any answer? Look how many accusations they're bringing against you!"

5But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.

5But since Jesus no longer answered, Pilate was astonished.

6Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people requested.

7A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.

9"Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate,

9Pilate answered them, "Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?"

10knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him.

10because he knew that the high priests had handed him over due to jealousy.

11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.

11But the high priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release Barabbas for them instead.

12"What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.

12So Pilate asked them again, "Then what should I do with the man you call 'the King of the Jews'?"

13"Crucify him!" they shouted.

13"Crucify him!" they shouted back.

14"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

14"Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

15Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
